I sure hope MU shows up to me too at least. It would be shame his work would go to waste to say the least. The idea was that I would feature some of his unreal alpha rework/reimagination stuff in his project, this was agreed upon year ago and we thought it would all go well, except there came issues, MU joined other projects and worked on more coding stuff outside of Unreal etc etc, in the end rather than few months it took year to get it fully started again and all issues solved and now it's left on ice again and I have no idea where he is or what's going on. But if he doesn't show up too soon, I will have to start working on filling the gaps, even though that means the quality won't be as good, since I cannot make meshes myself or additional animations. So instead of the enemies like red dragon you will probably get a modified gasbag as a replacement or something like it. Can't help it really. Or I would need to use the old mesh MU made but that was before the real mesh was exported.
So the plan was to add anims to the original dragon mesh instead and make a new skin. This is just an example of what was "in the store" for the release and I hate seeing that plan gone because it was really gonna be cool.
As for Delacroix, that is an old dispute which got rather resolved but before I left to live in another country we completely stopped talking to each other either way, over some things like that in fact he ashamed me at some thread at USP, about the Teridax's entry. Everyone guessed the "friend" he is referring to was me, besides it was him who asked me to take the screenshots to begin with, which he conveniently forgot to say and then said that "I was wrong", no matter the real argument I had which got lost in the context and the way he posted it. I am sorry but I don't tolerate such things. I had other things to deal with, the preparations to move and he insisted me in taking those screens and stuff and then in the end he balked out at me, I am sorry but that is the last straw I could take. I told him I don't have time for his pity games. Besides it wasn't something I found or knew about to begin with, I knew of the cave and other stuff from day one. I would say it was more than heavily inspired, part of
the geometry must have been "heavily" modifed/copied over etc, but that cave in particular was just a secret room either way, so it's not like it ever mattered to me anyway, what happened is that I mentioned the stuff in a more casual conversation, because of Teridax's post elsewhere saying something about map copying being bad etc which I found a bit ironic since so much stuff in his map looked like a copycat of the original unreal/rtnp maps. That was my only point, but Del went like "WHAT??! OMFG" and wanted to make it "blow like a bomb" over there in USP, which I told him I have no intention in participating. It sure "blew" in the end. Don't mind me if I stay mile away from him, even because of other stuff from past. I made clear I do not want to be part of the petty dramas, yet I was again dragged into it. Or him claiming that I took the screenshot with the "hacked" All rights reserved server. I only showed it to him, but I did not take the screenshot myself, that's not a resolution I use and one of the
servers I was unable to see at the time, in fact it was MasterUnreal who took the shot and showed it to me, (he even said later that I could have said it was him so I suppose me revealing this is fine). And all the post Illhaven release drama, please give me a break. I did not participate in it yet my name was mentioned everywhere in these threads and stuff brought up over and over again, including lots of false and "unfounded acussations", just like they would say of me back then when I said something not "nice" about them. But some of these things were just plain lies and slander. But hoo hoo now I am making unfounded acussation again I guess because it's awlays ME who is evil, right? You see why many people are outright tired of the community? I am not surprised because I am one of them as well. In fact the "227 ruined my life" guy even threatened me online in Unreal coop to begin with. Yet Casey was absolutely sure it must have been me. Sure, I go make fake names and post over USP about how bad "227" is
and then go play online with myself and send threats to myself and and and I probably was also responsible for the world trade center attacks in 2001, etc etc.
